Ironwood man invents fishway at Rest Lake dam
Harry Barr of Ironwood supervised the installation of the first fishway of its kind in the United States at Rest Lake dam in the Manitowish area. The device carries fish over the dam like a roller coaster and began operation last week, transporting dozens of pike muskellunge bass and suckers as observers watch its nightly testing. Crowds visit the dam to see the new fish passage and a dairy club note closes the item.
